Standout Story

Fresh off a victory earning the title “Indy’s NextUp”, Standout Story is capturing audiences now more than ever. They were awarded an opportunity to open for 30 Seconds to Mars on their Love, Lust, Faith, Dreams tour. Standout Story also shared the stage with Blue October at the Egyptian Room at the Old National Centre. Going into 2014, the band’s third year together, they continue to make a name for themselves every time they play. Standout Story has taken these last few years by storm playing venues such as the Egyptian Room at Old National Centre, Vogue Theatre, 8 Seconds Saloon, The Bluebird, and the Deluxe Room at the Old National Centre to name a few. Despite recent lineup changes, Standout Story just finished up their second EP “Let Me Go” with Alan Johnson at Static Shack Studios in Indianapolis, IN. This EP introduces a whole new level of songwriting with songs like Let Me Go, Angel Inside and Mr. Prescott, as well as a more edgy sound with songs like How Long Before You Fall and Careful What You Wish For. “2014 is going to be a big year for us. We have a new lineup, new songs and a new show. We have already started writing songs with our new drummer and can’t wait for the fans to hear them. We are more focused and excited as we’ve ever been.” – Josh Hurt, guitarist. Come see Standout Story for yourselves this year and see what everyone is talking about. Also be sure to check out the band’s new release “Let Me Go” available on iTunes, Amazon, and many other online stores. “It’s like New Found Glory met Yellowcard… they jump in a blender and out came Standout Story. The vocals are well developed, the instrumentals are scratchy enough to pull off punk, and there is an empty stage on Warped Tour waiting for these guys. And who writes those lyrics? Who cares? They fit. They fit the sound and they fit the scene. This is a band that I dare not to succeed.” – Ricky Potts “Standout Story stands out as one of the hottest young bands I’ve heard. Great songs, a fresh sound and a killer show that will make you want more.” – Alan Johnson, producer/engineer at Static Shack Recording Studio
